Rose Pruning Time of Year.

It’s that time of year again, ‘Rose pruning time !’

I have to admit, I’m not a rose enthusiast and I don’t really enjoy dead heading or pruning roses during their active growing months. But I enjoy doing the yearly dormant season pruning.There is something rewarding about looking back over your shoulder after you have spent the whole day pruning a rose garden into shape for the dormant season. It feels like a renaissance. You’ve just spent the whole day working on something that is going to show your efforts in just a few months from now.I feel it is a form of positive affirmative forward thinking into the future.

And right now, within this current doom and gloomy economy crisis, I could use a little positive thinking for the future.

Just after I posted the latest very short Miss R. reacting to my case of January blues or greys if you will. I decided to see what was going on over here. You'll laugh. I had posted a photo of roses and clematis. It's not time to prune here yet--2nd week in March. Unlike you, I really like to prune roses, in fact, its' just about my favorite garden task. Beautiful photos BTW.
